Cynic To The World

by lindzy   Jul 10, 2005


I'm a cynic to the world
Distrusting everyone
When someone is nice to me
I just want to run

I'm a cynic to the world
And I've locked my heart up tight
All because of the way I've lived
In depression worry and fright

I've been abused so long
In body,soul and mind
I've learned that this mask
Is here to hide behind

I'm a cynic to the world
My days are dark and grey
If I experience happiness
I'll eventually have to pay

The world isn't pretty
Or beautiful or nice
I've learned these hard lessons
My innocence was the price

I'm a cynic to the world
And there's nothing to be done
Cause you're nothing but a cynic
When you're distrusting everyone

    When it comes to original poems, this was definately one. I don't think I've ever read a poem quite like it, and it's always nice to read a poem with a certain topic for the first time.

    However, I did find a few spelling errors and some other things I feel should be changed. " When your distrusting everyone" You probably meant "When you're distrusting everyone." The same thing goes for "Cuz your nothing but a cynic." Also, use the word 'cuz' instead of 'because' or 'cause' can make the reader think that you're lazy or that you simply don't care. I would change that.

    Overall, I did like the poem. Nice write.
